00:07.940 --> 00:10.107
it's a clear night in Iraq which makes

00:10.107 --> 00:12.440
it a good time to train in base defense .

00:12.770 --> 00:14.826
This flight line , a part of Baghdad

00:14.826 --> 00:17.103
International Airport was once part of ,

00:17.103 --> 00:19.159
say their air base by the end of the

00:19.159 --> 00:21.103
month , these Iraqi Airmen will be

00:21.103 --> 00:23.326
responsible for its security . We train

00:23.326 --> 00:25.590
Iraqis every night . They follow us

00:25.590 --> 00:27.312
around , we showed them patrol

00:27.312 --> 00:29.534
procedures , internal security response

00:29.534 --> 00:31.590
procedures , make sure all the fence

00:31.590 --> 00:33.534
lines are safe , make sure there's

00:33.534 --> 00:35.646
nothing like holes in defences , make

00:35.646 --> 00:37.812
sure all the tags , sensors are all up

00:37.812 --> 00:37.540
and working and things like that . The

00:37.540 --> 00:40.220
surgeons will probably try to try to

00:40.230 --> 00:42.452
infiltrate this base . So when we train

00:42.452 --> 00:44.619
on them up right , they should be able

00:44.619 --> 00:46.841
to hold it down themselves . The job of

00:46.841 --> 00:49.119
a base defenders about being unwatched ,

00:49.119 --> 00:51.230
becoming the eyes and ears that sound

00:51.230 --> 00:51.210
the alarm when there's trouble . It's a

00:51.210 --> 00:53.266
role . The Iraqis seem to understand

00:53.350 --> 00:56.220
they're picking it up far better than I

00:56.220 --> 00:57.998
would've imagined they do . I'm

00:57.998 --> 01:00.053
confident in their ability to secure

01:00.053 --> 01:02.220
this place , they do their own thing ,

01:02.240 --> 01:04.407
but they pull our stuff into what they

01:04.407 --> 01:06.980
do and it really meshes together . I

01:06.980 --> 01:09.440
have a full thing of confidence in what

01:09.440 --> 01:11.496
they do and having confidence in the

01:11.496 --> 01:13.718
skills of the Iraqis following in their

01:13.718 --> 01:15.940
footsteps . Makes going home easier for

01:15.940 --> 01:18.107
these security forces . Airmen feeling

01:18.107 --> 01:20.329
good . I'm ready to get back home to my

01:20.329 --> 01:22.384
wife really ready . Air Force Master
